Rookies Bryce Eldridge and Carson Whisenhunt lead the Giants past the Astros, 4-1

Rookie Carson Whisenhunt pitched 5 2/3 innings to earn the win (improving to 3-3), navigating two bases-loaded jams in the early innings, as the San Francisco Giants defeated the Houston Astros 4-1 on Tuesday night, August 12, 2026. Fellow rookie Bryce Eldridge contributed a home run to the Giants' offense. Houston's Jose Altuve was hit by a pitch from Whisenhunt in the first inning and did not return in the second due to a left foot contusion.
